Are Labor Unions Still Relevant?
May 8th, 2009
If globalization were an evolutionary period in the Philippines, then trade unions might very well be aged dinosaurs on the brink of extinction. It used to be that smokestack industries could do little without the support of labor unions. But the development of the global job market, the changing forms of labor relations, new technology and patterns of work, as well as the appearance of millions of new workers willing to work at whatever cost, have made organizing an uphill struggle for these former vanguards of workers’ rights. To make matters worse, ferocious infighting, pitiable wages for ordinary workers, declining benefits, and the rising number of informal workers cast serious doubts on the union’s ability to represent the interests of workers. Are unions, then, suffering from a crisis of relevance? And if so, are they bound to become a thing of the past?
This question was asked by Alicor L. Panao to Professor Jun Sibal, Dean of UP- SOLAIR.
Depending on one’s point of view and school of thought, people differs on their regard to labor union. Even investors have different perspective, though I would assume, more would prefer to keep their company union free because of the troublesome CBA.
Why employees start a union?
Ending Probationary Employment Without Termination Notice
January 22nd, 2009
A Supreme Court (of the Philippines) jurisprudence suggest this.
For years, employers are on their toes to ensure that the sixth month of employment of probationary employees are monitored to ensure no unqualified proby employees will be regularized. Likewise, proper documentation is considered a must for the following:
- Discussion of employment standards/expectation levelling
- Job description
- Performance appraisal
- Employment contracts and
- Observance of twin notice rule
This is to ensure the decision to end an employee’s probationary contract will not be construed as whimsical.
But a Supreme Court jurisprudence about a case of a supervisor who failed to qualify as a permanent employee is rather interesting.
On the 6th month, the Supervisor was not allowed to time in and as a result, he sued the company for illegally dismissing him. But the court says there is no termination or dismissal but rather an expiration of his 6 month probationary contract.
